Question

Yesterday, the movie theater brought in $1,440 in ticket

sales and $295.25 in food sales. Today, ticket sales were
three-fourths as much as yesterday, and food sales were
down by $33.50. Nina wrote the expression
(1440) + 295.25 + (-33.50)
to find today's total sales. Is she correct? Explain.

Explanation:

3/4(1440) + (295.25-33.50)

=1341.75

Answer 2
